The type of immunity that is present from birth is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of immunity that is present from birth is:
A. Adaptive immunity
B. Active immunity
C. Innate immunity
D. Passive immunity
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Innate (natural) immunity is non-specific, present at birth, and provides the first line of defense. It includes physical barriers (skin), phagocytes, and chemical defenses. Adaptive immunity is acquired and specific.

Question #1
Which of the following is a correct match between the hormone and its function?
A. Adrenaline - Decreases heart rate
B. Oxytocin - Stimulates uterine contractions
C. Thyroxine - Controls blood calcium level
D. Insulin - Increases blood glucose

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Oxytocin stimulates uterine smooth muscle contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during lactation. Thyroxine regulates metabolism; calcitonin and parathyroid hormone control blood calcium. Insulin lowers blood glucose. Adrenaline increases heart rate, not decreases. This question tests the core functions of major hormones.

Question #2
In the human body, the 'Hypothalamus' is a small but crucial region of the brain that links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the:
A. Spinal cord
B. Pituitary gland
C. Thyroid gland
D. Adrenal gland

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The hypothalamus is a small, highly complex region located at the base of the brain, near the pituitary gland. It is the primary link between the nervous and endocrine systems. It controls the pituitary gland (the 'master gland') both neurally (via the posterior pituitary, where it stores and releases ADH and oxytocin) and hormonally (via the anterior pituitary, by secreting releasing and inhibiting hormones that regulate the production of anterior pituitary hormones). Through the pituitary, the hypothalamus regulates a vast array of bodily functions.

Question #3
Consider statements about lysosomes: 1. They are formed by Golgi apparatus. 2. They contain hydrolytic enzymes. 3. They are involved in autophagy. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles budded off from the Golgi apparatus. They contain powerful hydrolytic enzymes capable of breaking down proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They play a crucial role in autophagy, digesting worn-out cellular organelles. Thus, all three statements are biologically accurate and correct.
